1 Hear that a- freedom train a-coming, coming, coming,
Hear that freedom train a coming, coming, coming,
Hear that freedom train a-coming, coming, coming,
Get on board, oh, oh, get on board.

2 It'll be carryin' nothing but freedom, freedom, freedom,
It'll be carryin' nothing but freedom, freedom, freedom,
It'll be carryin' nothing but freedom, freedom, freedom,
Get on board, oh, oh, get on board.

3 They'll be comin' by the thousand, thousand, thousand,
They'll be comin' by the thousand, thousand, thousand,
They'll be comin' by the thousand, thousand, thousand,
Get on board, oh, oh, get on board.

4 It'll be carryin' freedom fighters, fighters, fighters,
It'll be carryin' freedom fighters, fighters, fighters,
It'll be carryin' freedom fighters, fighters, fighters,
Get on board, oh, oh, get on board.

5 It'll be carryin' registered voters, voters, voters,
It'll be carryin' registered voters, voters, voters,
It'll be carryin' registered voters, voters, voters,
Get on board, oh, oh, get on board.

5 It'll be rollin' through Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi,
It'll be rollin' through Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi,
It'll be rollin' through Mississippi, Mississippi, Mississippi,
Get on board, oh, oh, get on board.
